Client Testimonials

"Donna Wolfe and her company of role players are superb. Not only can they realistically portray the emotions, thought processes and behaviors of emotionally distressed and psychologically disorganized individuals, they can ad lib scenarios to the point of not letting police officers and other first responders off the hook when they are out of tune with these populations."

Robert Grant, PhD

"The participation in these scenarios have been incredibly valuable in peparing clinicians to do mental health assessments and to interact with patients who have behavioral emergencies...The simulation exercises add a depth of realism that others are unable to achieve."

PointAcross Info Network was created in 2006. The idea was to be able to provide veteran mental health clinicians for law enforcement and other training agencies, primarily for their CIT role-playing needs. Role Play scenarioThe scenarios and role-plays are literally pulled from real experiences and real interactions, either from law enforcement reports or clinician recollection. Our team of role-players are in complete support of the cross training for both of these agencies. From our experiences, we are able to provide more insight into what people may have been experiencing during a "crisis." Our value system stems from the bleief that the way in which we conduct ourselves during these interviews may directly affect the outcome of these situations.
